Impaired social brain network for processing dynamic facial expressions in autism spectrum disorders.
TL;DR: These results suggest that weak activity and connectivity of the social brain network underlie the impairment in social interaction involving dynamic facial expressions in individuals with ASD.
Rapid amygdala gamma oscillations in response to fearful facial expressions

TL;DR: Recording the intracranial field potentials of the amygdala in subjects undergoing pre-neurosurgical assessment revealed that the amygdala showed greater gamma-band activity in response to fearful compared with neutral facial expressions, with a peak at 135 ms.

The atypical social brain network in autism: advances in structural and functional MRI studies.
Wataru Sato,Shota Uono +1 more
TL;DR: These structural and functional MRI studies provide supportive evidence for the hypothesis that an atypical social brain network underlies behavioral social problems in ASD.
Dynamic fearful gaze does not enhance attention orienting in individuals with Asperger's disorder.
TL;DR: The present study examined joint attention in 11 individuals with Asperger's disorder and 11 age-matched controls under naturalistic conditions using a target detection paradigm with dynamic emotional gaze cues and found that the integration of emotion and gaze direction that elicits strong joint attention is impaired in individuals with ASD.

Amygdala integrates emotional expression and gaze direction in response to dynamic facial expressions.
TL;DR: The left amygdala showed an interaction between presentation condition and gaze direction, indicating higher activity in response to dynamic, but not static, expressions looking toward the subjects than to expressions looking away from them, which corresponded with the intensity of emotional arousal.
